Out of the Champions League. Just recently thrashed at recent rivals Arsenal. Clinging on to top spot in the league. Have our ageing wonderkids come as far as they can? We’ll find out as we look to recover from this mess against…Arsenal. You can catch-up with last week here. If I was asked, “how would… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P27 – P*** Artists
Hello and welcome back to the 97-98 Wonderkids do CM0001. It’s season number 7 already. We get a second crack at the Champions League having failed to overcome Leverkusen in last season’s final. A second crack at the Charity Shield where we’ll face Man Utd and a chance to finally win the FA and League… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P26 – You Can’t Always Get What You Want, But If You Try Sometimes, You Get a Charity Shield
We’re having quite possibly our toughest season yet. Combining European competition with the board’s domestic expectation and the pool of players I trust getting smaller each season is proving tough going. You can catch up with last week here. Our first piece of news in this update is that we’ll be revisiting our Champions’ League… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P25 – The One With The Swearing
So here we are, halfway through season 6, we’d love to add the FA Cup and Champions League and retain the league, only so we don’t get sacked. But also, to have another crack at the pinnacle of the English Football seasons, the Charity Shield. We could put ourselves 10 points clear in the league.… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P24 – Zimmer Frames and Football Games
The Wonderkids are back, if you missed the start to the season you can catch up here. We’re sitting pretty at the top of the league although West Ham do have sufficient games in hand to catch us at this stage.

Well, here we stand. Champions facing into a title defence of the highest order. There are one or two contracts up at the end of the season, nobody major, but no-one is willing to discuss matters. We’ve probably got two more years to squeeze out of this group at their peak. The board have set… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P22 – Great Expectations
Welcome back to the run in for our 97-98 Wonderkids and a *ahem* wonderful…first season in the Premier League so far. You can catch up here. Lots of work to do, 9 games to go and a very fragile 5-point cushion. First up, Dave recommends we give Hugo a real go at things. I’m going… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P21 – Hu-go All the Way
We’re back to tackle the final half of the 97-98 Wonderkids debut season in the CM0001 Premier League. If you missed our assent to the top last week, you will find it here. We’re doing alright and we’ve earned that top spot. Of our 4 chasers, we’ve beaten two of them by big scores and… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P20 – Form is Temporary
Welcome back once again with the ill behaviour. And by that we mean CM0001 and the 97-98 Wonderkids, who, to be fair, are pretty sick. You can catch up with last week here. We kick-off this week with a classic bit of CM scheduling. Two games vs. the same team, the in-form unbeaten team. Chelsea.… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P19 – Points to Prove
Hello and welcome back to the CM9798 Wonderkids to CM0001. Here we are in the big time. It’s fair to say it’s been cruise control all the way here, but we’ve lost some soldiers on the way, and some just haven’t lived up to their 97-98 billing 3 years on. Here’s how we’ll start: A… Read More CM00-01: The Return of the Wonderkids P18 – Billy Big Time
